EDITORIAL COMMENT. r ill HE International Air Congress, which is to be held in London from June 25 to June 30, although the first to be held in this country, is the seventh of its kind. Previous Congresses have taken place at Paris, 1889, 1900, and 1921 ; Chicago, 1893; Milan, 1906, and Nancy, 1909. The only Congress of this character held in recent years was that in Paris in 1921, which was held in conjunction with the Paris Aero Show. A great numberThe of most interesting and valuable papers re read at that Conference, but a perusal of the list of papers to be read in London next week (published elsewhere in this issue) indicates that the first British International Air Congress will far exceed in interest and importance all previous Congresses. The Congress will be opened by the Prince of Wales, will be under the Presidency of Group-Captain His Royal Highness the Duke of York, K.G., R.A.F., and the main committee, under the chairmanship of His Grace the Duke of Sutherland, Under-Secretary of State for Air, is composed o"f members nominated by the Air Ministry and by the four bodies representing British aviation, i.e., the Royal Aeronautical Soci&ty, the Royal Aero Club, the Air League of the British Empire, and the Society of British Aircraft Con- structors. An executive committee, under the chairmanship of Major-General Sir Frederick Sykes, deals with the detail organisation, and has the assistance of sub- committees responsible for the selection and reading of papers, for the entertaining of members, and for financial arrangements. The official languages of the Congress will be English and French, and all papers will be read in one or the other of these languages. The names on the general council of the Congress include representatives of all our leading institutions, societies and associations, and an exceptionally strong main committee has been got together, so that even the most critical would, we think, have difficulty in finding any fault with the organisation. The social side has been given due consideration, the series of receptions, visits, etc., being worthy of the distinguished foreign representatives who have pro- mised to attend the Congress. ,•••,.."
